[GeorgeR]

hey whats up...i am fairly new to stunting, and am starting to slow things down, but i wrecked it clutching it up at like 5 mph in 1st standing up. now im working on like 20 mph sitdowns and stand ups. i and -1/+12 on a 03 636, at 20 mph i clutch it in 3rd and it comes up nice and im learning brake control, it just come down way to quick i wanna start riding slow shit and stuntung parking lots bad. is 3rd gear at 20 mph ok to start learning slow shit or should i slow it down more, whats gears should i been in for like 5mph and 30 mph wheelies. also when i do highway wheelies i clutch 3rd at like 40...sry for the long post, i just wanna get good as hell for this summer

i ment whats gear for 20 mph wheelies not 30

Stay in first gear all the time. Only time any other gear is needed is on the highway. Then stick to 2nd or 3rd tops. I'm -1+16 and first gear is still plenty fast or slow for most anything except long stoppies and coasters.

Practice. Only way to learn without having someone there giving you little tips.

thanks a lot, 1 quick question i am riding a 636 w/ no fairing a streetfighter head light, smashed up tail and a 905 cage...doing slow wheel what are the chances of me ruining my fram or forks like when i drop it. those are the only two things i worry about. and maybe the tank but i kno wut it tank to smack up a frame. the one time i put it down my plastics pretty much all took a s***. again thanks for teh advice

o yea u think 1st gear stand ups w/ my foot on the back peg is the easiers way to learn, because i been doin sit down and i feel more comfortable w/ them

yea man, keep practicing everything in first. you'll get used to it. watch some video's. you want that rear wheel crawling. the slower the better. :D

practice 2nd gear staggered get use to that style and learn brake control. then u can start slowing down in wheelies and with around +15 u will be able to slow 2nd down to walking speed. 1st gear is way too crazy to learn with a pizza dish sprocket. O yeah keep a finger on the clutch

Frame and forks should be fine. Just try to give a little gas before you set the wheel down to keep from blowing out your fork seals.
